Pay attention at the back, please! The error is due to mt_exec failing. The engine decides that is non-recoverable and attempts to shutdown. It isn't clear whether the following shmget error is part of the same invocation or not - it is more than 5 minutes later. It looks like there were two attempts to start the engine, the first time it failed because he threading didn't work, the second time it didn't even get that far. >>09:24:46 invoke_alarm(): mt_exec failed, status -1, errno 0 >>09:24:46 PANIC: Attempting to bring system down >>09:31:00 shmget: [EEXIST][17]: key 528d4801: shared memory already>>exists 09:31:00 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment Mike P.S. Please don't quote entire message like that. Anyone following this thread will have access to the original. Also get your sysadmin to configure the gateway a little better.
